Institute of Directors launches new Website

James Satariano, chairman of the Institute of Directors (IoD Malta) Malta Branch, has announced the launch of the new IoD Malta Website at www.iod.com/malta.

The information available on the site is a result of close collaboration among partners at the IoD in the UK and IoD European Branch network levels co-ordinated by the local institute and with the support of the IoD Malta Council. You can search the IoD Website and find fascinating information of relevance to company directors and senior management.

The Website has been completely redesigned by IoD UK's Web Development Team and by local directors at IoD Malta to offer a sharper focus for current and prospective company directors. It highlights IoD Malta's role as a centre of strategic and corporate governance excellence and in the creation of value for local directors in the Mediterranean region.

The site features IoD Malta's new policy directions under its seven development themes: director training; the board and globalisation; economic growth and networking, trade and industry; business management; conferences and seminars; community and sustainability; and corporate governance and financial markets.

Recent news released on the site, which is integrated with IoD's global site, includes interest rates, a new Policy Paper on Tax Avoidance, how to appeal Revenue and Customs Departments decisions, the IoD Energy Conference.

With a new news section, an updated look, and improved navigation and functionality, the IoD Malta site and IoD global site provides expanded access to background information on policy, information and advice, allowing business people to better understand the latest trading environment as well as legal and procedural developments. In addition, the new site includes contextual links to IoD's reports and publications with material covering a vast range of business topics, and the latest innovations and developments at IoD.

Visit the expanded IoD Malta site to: learn about the latest developments in business leadership and directors issues; peruse the "Research and Reports" for information on the global economy, regulatory issues and EU affairs which helps provide faster, easier remote access to some of the world's best information, specialists and researchers; browse the IoD Business Directory for a supplier or business partner; sign up for print or electronic publications; browse the multimedia library showcasing visual and audio files of relevance to board members and senior managers and; select the quick link to training and development to help directors improve their personal and professional effectiveness for the continued success of the business.

IoD Malta is at an exciting time in its development and one of the roles of the new Website is also to reflect this. Chairman James Satariano sees the Website as playing a vital role in international recognition of IoD Malta's excellence as a learning organisation and as a communicator in the Mediterranean.

IoD Malta was founded over 40 years ago and represents directors from every corner of industry in Malta. IoD Malta's key role is helping the government, all local stakeholders and society to improve corporate governance standards, and to improve the foundations for economic growth and development in Malta.
